Crocodiles everywhere!

We just got into Darwin (which is sort of like being near civilization again) at the very north end of Australia. Finally, it's warm! Here are a few more Outback highlights.

Jim Jim Falls gorge
The 220-meter waterfall at the end of the river here was barely running, and will be dry in a week, but the scenery is incredible. It took two hours in a four-wheel drive vehicle to get to the trailhead.


The determined few of our group who got up at 6:00 am to make the double trek to both Jim Jim falls and Twin Falls, stopping for a photo along Jim Jim Creek.

We saw this guy (and quite a few more like him) this morning during our boat ride on the South Alligator River. There aren't any alligators in the river, though, because saltwater crocodiles like this one would eat them!

These are some nice pictures Jay. Perhaps if the law thing doesn't work out you could become a photographer.
